  • Literally am anti USA to the point I left long ago, and have avoided US products as much as possible since before it was popular due to Trump.

    However, again, the Iraq war has ended, and the USA was literally not sending Americans to permanently live in Iraq while killing every Iraqi possible.

    Israel’s intent with Gaza is to wipe out Palestinians in Gaza entirely and make Gaza part of Israel.

    And lastly, this whole argument is a strawman because this post was about Gal Gadot. But good try at derailment, troll. It failed this time so I guess you’ll get a pay deduction from Netanyahu. Or at least, I’d hope you weren’t so stupid to be doing this for free.

    Either way, you’re a despicable human for trying to excuse genocide in any way, including whataboutism, and part of why humanity cannot advance further as a species. I can only hope you feel shame at yourself, for only through that would you have any redemption.


  • I don’t live in the USA, and boycott them too.

    Either way, your argument is a strawman, because Israel is still actively committing genocide, and there’s multiple sources of evidence of Netanyahu also funding Hamas. It’s also incredibly unlikely one of the world’s top surveillance tech states, that was able to do a supply chain attack via beepers, was also blind sided by what happened October 7th.

    And lastly, USA wasn’t seeking to colonize Iraq or even your disingenuous comparison to WW2 Japan - Israel has been building illegal settlements on the other hand for years.








  • It’s not an association fallacy or poisoning the well if those things are actually being done, which has already been covered in the previous comments. Goggles is another current example of that.

    You can go on and have your last word now, I’m done with your bad faith argument. I think there’s enough evidence in this comment thread by now for others to see you’re being disingenuous.





  • It’s not a strawman, it’s the problem.

    It’s a strawman you’re still trying to prop up because the issue is not only the Brave browser itself, but the owners of it.

    Even if we took your argument in good faith, it would still be flawed since Brave is based on Chromium, of which Google essentially controls at this point, so you’d still be supporting Google hegemony. In other words, even from that stance you’ve brought up, it would be a bad idea to use Brave vs Firefox, Librewolf, Konqueror, etc.

    Murderer is a noun. Once you’ve murdered that’s what you are, regardless of past or present or future. People can change, but that doesn’t change what you’ve done in the past and have become, because you can’t undo what you did.

    6 months to 5 years isn’t “A long time ago” btw. I think it takes at least a decade to start considering something a long time ago.

    That’s a really concise and thoughtless way to excuse Google, Microsoft and Apple for monetizing spying on every person on earth for profit.

    Nice strawman you got there. I think anyone with eyes can see I didn’t bring them up because most (all?) Lemmy users know Firefox and its forks exist.

    And yes, Linux distros have a business model. I’m happy that distros found a business model through offering official support to corporations, it makes it truly free to the rest of us. It also helps that their competition is very expensive. Will that model work for a browser? What do you think?

    That’s… Literally how browsers used to work. Netscape was a paid browser. Orion is starting to look into that model as well.

    And yes, you just pointed out of possible to raise funds without pulling the shit Brave has, as Linux distros have done… So, congrats on getting the point? A little slow, but you got there.
